I don't know if this happens to anyone else but sometimes in the morning as I wake up I will have this sort of waking dream that I need to do something important than I do it, then as I really wake up I have to try and remember whether or not I did it. Its a very bizarre thing. Because it feels so real. The worst part is I think it doesn't just happen when I dream. I feel like its possible to happen to me all the time. Its not like I'm more prone to doing that while I'm waking up.
Anytime I feel like I really need to do something...I'll tell myself I need to do that. Then I don't apply the sense of urgency or motivation to it so that it happens. Its almost as if just by thinking about it I'm moving on my way towards doing it and therefore I am happy with the progress I have made and I go back to what I am doing.
The best way for me to overcome this is by creating lists...but then the minute i put one of the things off I feel that its permitted to put the rest of the things off as well. The only way to remedy my procrastination is to do what it is that I'm thinking immediately...as soon as I get the idea I need to do it. Today was a really good day. Everything on my list was completed. That never happens. But today I stuck it through and cleared it. It feels really empowering. Almost like I can do anything.

I can't exactly explain it without using a mixture of english words:
It is a feeling that my feet and my mind can take me where I need to go. Not only take me there but take care of me. I don't know if this is just me, or if this is what every human being feels inside. Almost like how the birds know they will eventually fly and the beavers know they will eventually build a dam. I know that I will move forward, with my hands and my head and my feet, moving forward through the days towards what I find needs to be explored in order to understand more about the world I live in.
Its usually obscure beautiful images of nature that cause me to feel this. Waking up on the couch and staring through the skylight and seeing the pine tree limbs that hang above my house and just endlessly sway in the wind.
Keep in mind the words of George Mallory, known for attempting the first ascent of Everest;

What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for.”
